Spitting at 3500 rpm. :( Leaning towards coil packs or AFM. Other than that the car is running fine. Any thoughts?

Hey Kimbo man it's me, with the GTR from teh other night at Kat's ;) Welcome to forum btw...and the never boring world of the RB's haha

That's quite early in the piece for spitting =/ I'd start by going over everything with a fine-toothed comb - ie every single electrial wire and plug that you can see and the same for all your vaccum/air lines and pipes and hoses. Then I'd start taking things apart like, checking your spark plugs to see if they tell a story (there are some charts for plug discoloration etc)....if this "spitting" feels a bit more like a surge of some sort I'd also check/replace the fuel filter etc.

I have had coil packs go on me but they tended to wear down gradually, only missing in high RPM / high boost and then working their way down the rev range till they fail all together and your car sounds like a WRX ;-)

But yes, a good way to start is with a thorough inspection and cleaning of anything that is a sensor or an electrical connection. It's usually always something stupid like that...and if not, it's always best to start with this as it's the least expensive fix ;)

Hey bud, yeah as soon as I have 5 mins to scratch I will be going over the engine with a fine tooth comb and checking everything. Fingers crossed I can nail the problem. Cheers for all the advice from everyone.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
